    Lunch & Learn: Intro to developing community-based peer support

    Ellis on 25 October, 2024

    Are you interested in developing peer support groups or activities in your community, organisation, or service?

    Book your free place now!

    Peer support is powerful, and it works. It’s a mutual relationship where people with shared experiences support each other especially as they move through challenging times. In partnership with Scottish Recovery Network, we are running a free 60- minute online session exploring:

    • Peer support and the positive role it plays in supporting mental health recovery and wellbeing
    • Top tips for developing community-based peer support

    It’s a great opportunity to connect with others interested in peer support as well as providing inspiration to kick start or enhance your planning and/or proposals for peer support activities. The session will draw on a range of examples of Peer Support in Action and resources which are free to access on www.PeerRecoveryHub.Net

    We will be using the online tool ZOOM. You will receive the log in details in advance of the session.

    Grab your lunch, log in and let’s go!
